These pretty much equal = casters are stupid.Possibly because counterspell has a shorter range than hypnotic pattern. Also, you gotta be able to see the caster to counterspell, which one can arrange to make not-doable. Also, the casters might be written to prefer to use their reaction for something like shield. Also, the casters might not have counterspell prepared or in any way available.
